Eliot Spitzer To Write Column For Slate

Media Mob has learned that former New York governor Eliot Spitzer will write a new column for Slate beginning tomorrow. The column will appear every other week and it'll be about government, regulation and finance.

"He's going to be doing a regular thing," said Jacob Weisberg, the editor-in-chief of the Slate Group. "It'll be heavily about the financial crisis and fixing financial markets and the economy generally."

The column will be titled: The Best Policy.

Slate editor on Spitzer: "He's going to be doing a regular thing."
Really? That's not what we heard. But keep your socks on!

Love Client No. 9.
Love Potion No 9 Parody

He was the Gov"nor of the Empire State,
Valentine"s eve in DC with no date.¨
So to the Emperor"s Club he had to drop a dime,
Booked a date with Kristin for - Love Client No. 9.

He once crusaded against crime and graft,
But now unzipped, our hero feels a draft.
He prosecuted Staten Island hookers as well
But got himself in trouble in The Mayflower Hotel.

He paid for Kristin to take Amtrak from NYC,
Outsourcing business costing local talent their fee
4,000 bucks or more, for just 2 hours of her time,
Said he was short on cash, Amex is fine

The moral of this sordid tale be known,
On Valentine"s you shouldn't stray from home.
Trouble can happen, when events like this unfurl,
And bring together the two oldest. professions in the world.
Love Client No. 9.

Honor and integrity alive and well in the media...

Gee, Jen, your remark must be representative of that compassionate Christian attitude. Maybe we should send him off to a desert island- nobody deserves forgiveness or a second chance.

[JenMI]

You assume too much..

You assume too much...or have you forgotten all those Spitzer took down with his hypocrisy.

Unflattering picture of him. Needs to slip his dentures back in.

I wish HuffPo would quit running that photo of Spitzer. His lips are creepy when he pulls them in like that.
